Entries were requested in three categories, Macro, Fish Portrait, and Wide Angle. Entries were judged
on technical criteria such as focus and exposure, as well as subjective factors like composition, framing and Wow factor. Each
judge selected ten photos in each category and points were awarded based on their choices. Photos were identified only by a
generic file ID and were not linked to the photographer. I held the key linking the file name to the photographer
until judging was complete.
